The PNV and the PSE-EE call for "realistic and viable" proposals to agree on budgets "without changing models"
For their part, EH Bildu and Sintre have called for "consistency" because "you cannot negotiate with everyone at the same time" and the PP has proposed "improvements", especially in Health and Safety.
They have asked the opposition\u00A0EAJ eta PSE-EEto make "realistic and viable proposals"to agree on the Basque Budgets " without changing models "on the road map of the Basque Government, in the political debate of the"Parliamentin the Waves "programme of Radio Euskadi.
Alaitz Zabala(PNV) has hoped that the negotiations will be "fruitful and honest" and has ensured that the Government is ready to talk to all groups. In this regard, he has hoped that the proposals of the opposition groups will be "realistic and viable" because "many things can be done".
In this context, it has been in favour of maintaining the current model: "Budgets that prioritise investment, that have opportunities in the future and that will be promoted through new formulas with industrial diversification, transport infrastructure or new housing constructions."
Eraitz Saez de Egilaz(EH Bildu) regrets proposing a "common project" of public accounts for "extraordinary" times and challenges. "What and how we are concerned because we see that there are cuts in some strategic areas, and that it is becoming difficult to meet all the needs of the day."
The Member of the European Parliament has stressed that budgets are 'the most important law, they condition the future' and that 'it is an absolute inconsistency to want to agree with each other without knowing very well what the direction is'.
On the other hand, Ekain Rico(PSE-EE) has said that it is the opposition itself that "needs to be clarified" because budgets are "clearly expansive" and are "the best guarantee for new public services, for the welfare and protection of citizens and for continuing to create quality jobs."
He has assured us that these are accounts that represent 'the greatest investment ever made in the social field' and has given opposition groups the opportunity to reach agreements, but he has warned that we must be 'realistic' and respond to the 'road map' drawn up by PNV and PSE-EE 'from a real reality'.
Likewise, Laura Garridohas said (PP) are the "continuists" of the budgets of the Iñigo Urkullu era: "We are facing the same model, insisting on the same policies and, consequently, achieving the same results, which I believe are not appropriate in very specific areas."
In his view, "budget spending increases, but not at the same rate as household spending and productivity increases, which is not good news." He has also stressed that people care about health and safety, and budgets "do not respond to many of the needs in this regard."
Finally, Jon Hernández(Suma) has explained that they do not share the public accounts project because he believes that the Basque Country has "greater economic capacity to invest and spend on public services and housing".
"We do not agree that half of what is going to be allocated to housing for security or less than half of what is going to be allocated to social policies, social welfare or youth security," Hernandez said.
